Who knows the significance of $847.63?

Recommended Posts

At one point in time, or so goes the story, there was a study that said it cost $847.63 per month to raise a child. When the animators of the Simpsons made their opening title sequence, they made a reference to it. It's the price that pops up when Maggie is scanned at the check out counter.

Now, this all may be urban myth. I dunno.

Okay, I'm going to be dumb. Does this mean you're going to be a father?

If so, congratulations! B|

If not, then the significance of roughly $850 doesn't ring any bells to me...:S
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright

Make light!

My mom got by on a lot less when she was a single mom and had us 4, yes 4 kids to raise. Can you say garage sale clothes and peanut butter and jelly.



Hey, it sounds like your mom did what she had to do and made it work. That's worth some major respect. For some people, it's tough to wear/use secondhand stuff because they're hung up on impressing everyone (as though what you wear should impress people, and not who/how you are!).

And Gawain, no, I'm not expecting a baby. Dunno how that impression got given... Last baby I could possibly have made woulda been born already. :P[:/]
